Not good news for Premarin...which has been around for years and is one of the top hormone replacement therapies for women...BD
A jury levied a $134.5 million judgment against Wyeth in a lawsuit filed by three Nevada women who claimed the company's hormone replacement drugs caused their breast cancer. ADVERTISEMENT It was the largest award to date against the New Jersey-based pharmaceutical company, which faces about 5,300 similar lawsuits across the country in state and federal courts.
The panel deliberated for two days before announcing its verdict late Wednesday in favor of Jeraldine Scofield, 75, of Fallon; Arlene Rowatt, 67, of Incline Village; and Pamela Forrester, 64, of Yerington. The same five-man, two-woman jury will return to the courtroom Friday to consider punitive damages against the drug maker.
They also said the drug, approved the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is not dangerous and remains on the market.
